ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH WETASKIWIN, ALBERTA Zion Lutheran Congregation, Wetaskiwin, Al¬ berta, was organized on the 20th day of May, 1904, by Pastor Victor Grueber of Bismark, Alberta, with eight members signing the constitution. Pastor Grueber served the congregation for one year. In 1905, Pastor Geo. Meyer was called and he remained until 1909. His successor was the Rev. 0. H. Schmidt, now Synod’s Executive Secretary of the Board for Missions in Foreign Countries, who served this congregation until 1916. In 1911 the congregation, which by this time had 16 voting members, undertook the building of a new church with the help of the Church Exten¬ sion Fund. The cornerstone was laid September 10 and the church was dedicated to the service of the Lord on November 5 of the same year. In 1913 the congregation opened a Christian Day School. The Pastor taught school and Student Carl Wyppich assisted him in his pastoral work. In 1915 all Christian Day Schools were closed in Alberta, and consequently also this one. In 1916 Dr. Schmidt left for Minneapolis and the congregation called the Rev. A. H. Schwermann from Mellowdale, Alberta. He served the congregation until 1921 when he was called to Edmonton to be Director at our newly established Concordia College, where he is still active. During his pastorage (1920) the congregation bought its own parsonage for the price of $2,400.00. After the Rev. A. H. Schwermann left, the congregation called Rev. C. Thies, then serving at Duchess, Alberta, who was installed in September of 1921. Pastor H. J. Elling from Brightview served as Vacancy Pastor, during the hrief vacancy. Pastor Thies remained until 1926, when he became Missions Secretary of the District and moved to Edmonton. Pastor A. Appelt from Creston, B.C., was the next pastor. He was installed in this congregation by Rev. C. Thies on December 5, 1926, and served until the fall of 1945, when he retired and moved to Edmonton. Rev. J. Ohlinger of Wembley was then called and began his pastorate on November 18, 1945. During the last seven years the Lord has been especially gracious to our congre¬ gation and has richly blessed it. It was found necessary to enlarge the church to seat about 250. A basement was also put under the church, which has served a very good purpose as a meeting place for our young people, Ladies’ Aids, Sunday School, and other groups. At the present time, the congregation is thinking about a new parsonage. As of January 1 of this year (1953) the congregation numbers 372 souls, 211 communicants, and 67 voters. There are over 80 children in Sunday School. The Lord hath helped us hitherto by His sur- passhg favor; His mercies every morn were new, His kindness did not waver. God hitherto hath been our Guide, hath pleasures hitherto supplied And hitherto hath helped us. 3 COLLEGE J. E. HERZER A. H. SCHWERMANN, B.A., B.Ed., D.D. A. H.

MISS EDITH LECHELT HERMAN DORIN, B.A. 5 CONCORDIA COLLEGE HISTORICAL SKETCH Concordia College, a residential high school and junior college of the Lutheran Chureh-Missouri Synod, was officially opened on October 31, 1921, with a Grade IX enrolment of 35 students. The activities of the school were concentrated in the Cale¬ donian Temperance Hotel at 10S75 - 98th Street, and a boarding house at 9529 - 110th Avenue served as dining room, kitchen, infirmaiy and principal’s residence. Grades X, XI and XII were added in the next successive years, and in 1926 the first of two junior college classes were organized. In the fall of 1924 the Fraser estate (together with several lots owned by the city) covering in area 8.11 acres, was purchased at the cost of $13,800. Building operations began on May 20, 1925, and were completed on the day of dedication, January 10, 1926. All buildings are of fire-proof construction. The total cost of land and buildings was $147,000. Four teachers’ residences were erected in 1930 at a total cost of $39,446. In December, 1948, an additional plot of ground, covering 1.86 acres and lying immediately west of the administration building, was purchased from the city at a cost of $5,580. LOCATION AND GROUNDS Concordia College is situated in Edmonton, the capital of the Province of Al¬ berta, a city of 170,000 inhabitants (including the suburbs), 801 miles west of Winni¬ peg, 771 miles east of Vancouver, and some 350 miles north of the Montana boundary. The city dates its origin from the year 1795, when it was established as a fur trading post by the Hudson’s Bay Company. It was incorporated as a town in 1892, and as a city in 1904. It lies in the centre of one of the most prosperous farming communities in Western Canada; within a radius of fifty miles some 2,000 oil wells have been developed during the last seven years and three large oil refineries were established; Canadian Industries Limited is constructing a plant at a cost of thirteen million dollars, and the Celanese Corporation of America another plant at a cost of fifty- five million dollars; it is the gateway to the fertile Peace River empire and to the gold fields and the uranium deposits in the far north—all of these circumstances have com¬ bined to make the city an unusually progressive community. With its University of Alberta, Provincial College of Education, 11 colleges, and two public libraries, the city offers excellent educational and cultural facilities. Concordia has its home in a quiet residential district in the eastern part of the city. It lies high above the beautiful valley of the Saskatchewan River, borders the scenic Highlands golf course, and adjoins the Fair Grounds and Borden Park, in which are situated the Edmonton Zoo and a municipal swimming pool. The distance from the college to the heart of the city is a 10-minute ride on the Highlands bus line. BUILDINGS The administration building contains six classrooms, laboratory, library, office, faculty room, chapel, vault, and heating plant. In addition to the dining room, steward’s quarters, storage rooms, and lavatories, the boys’ dormitory contains 15 suites of rooms, the larger of which are designed for five and the smaller for four students. Each suite has a study and a bedroom, the latter being equipped with battleship linoleum and a spacious locker for each student. All floors in these rooms are covered with battleship linoleum. In the service building are located the kitchen, refrigerating room, storage rooms, room for maids, and in the second storey the sick-rooms. A beautiful new gymnasium-auditorium was dedicated on April 19, 1953. CO-EDUCATION AND ACCREDITATION Co-education was first introduced in 1925, but temporarily discontinued in 1931. Girls were again admitted in 1941. Thirty-three are enrolled at the present time. The Alberta Provincial High School Course of Studies was introduced in 1939. At that time Grade IX was eliminated since it is no longer part of the senior high school course. Concordia is fully accredited with the Department of Education. 6 GRADUATES GERHARDT EIFERT, Edmonton, Alberta. This year’s lone Primaner and Secretary of the Student Body entered Concordia in 1948, hail¬ ing originally from Leduc. Since then, however, he has become a city student. From the time he first set foot in Concordia until his graduation “Jiggs” has always shown keen interest in the many activities of the school. Most of the students know him as “ye old editor” of the yearbook, a position which he has held for the last two years. His fine baritone voice has been heard in the Choristers for the last three years. Gerry’s interest in student government has resulted in his being a member of the Students’ Council for two years, and being chosen as one of Concordia’s delegates at the Lutheran Students Government Conference held at Winfield, Kansas this year. Church work also receives much of his time; for he is an active Walther Leaguer in the Grace Junior Society, and also one of the church’s Sunday School teachers. With all these activities he still finds time for relaxation by engaging in handball or volleyball, cheering on the hockey and baseball teams, or having a good old-fashioned bull session. His magnetic personality, his sincere and understanding character, and his good sense of humor will serve him well in his future work. We wish Gerhardt success in his studies at the Seminary. RUDOLPH NAST, Round Hill, Alberta Six years ago Rudy came to Concordia to begin his ministerial training, and this fall he is going to Springfield to continue his studies. Rudy has numerous extra-curricular activities. He is Chief Librarian, Chairman of the Dorm Council, sings tenor in Choristers, and also coaches the junior hockey team. Rudy contributed much to life at Concordia and we feel sure he will be missed on this campus. RALPH HUBER, Lipton, Sask. All the way from Lipton, Sask., comes Ralph “Curly” Huber. “Curly” is well liked and during his four years at Concordia has won many friends. This year “Curly” served as referee for the College Country Hockey League and did a very admirable job, too. He does not take part in hockey or base¬ ball but is an expert at sending the rocks down the ice in a curling game. He also enjoys a good game of pinochle or bridge. Curly is thinking of entering our Seminary in Springfield. AUDREY RUF, Stornoway, Saskatchewan One of our most active girls is petite Audrey, who is a member of the Athletic Committee, library staff, and Choristers as well as the girls’ prima. Despite her many responsibilities, ’’Susie” finds time for skating, softball and piano. In her future career as a nurse, we are sure her winning personality and ambitious nature will bring “Susie” every success. 7 GRADUATES CLARENCE APPLER (“Apples”) Pembroke, Ontario Clarence Appier has the honor to be one of the few students from Ontario. He has been so busy he has not taken part in very many extra-curricular activities. Skating, camping, fishing and making potato chips are his favorite pastimes. He hopes to take an engineer¬ ing course next year. DAVID BEARDON, Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan David came to Concordia two years ago to finish his h ' gh school course. During his stay here, he contributed much to sports. He is a member of the Senior Hockey team, as well as the baseball team. “Dave” is still somewhat undecided on just what he will do after he graduates. SHIRLEY FANNING (“Shirl”), Trail, B.C. Shirl has been on the go these last three years trying to get all her subjects mastered. She serves on the Red Cross Committee and is a member of the Choristers. She likes skating, swimming, playing ping-pong, photography, and also talk ng and having a good time. Shirl intends to study medicine after leaving Concordia. ANTON GOEBEL (“Tony”), Neudorf, Saskatchewan If you want to buy a cheap suit, then Tony is the right man for you. He knows how to make use of his spare time, and he is also a conscientious student. Nevertheless he enjoys outside sports or a good game of cards and participates in as many activities as possible. His aim is to be a parochial school teacher. LORAINE GERLINGER, Lymburn, Alberta Pleasant, industrious, friendly—that is Loraine as we know her. She is a reporter for the Aurora, secretary of the Yearbook staff and an alto member of the Choristers. Skating is one of her favorite pastimes. Her future vocation is still undecided. LEONA HENNIG, Andrew, Alberta Leona Hennig was another 12th grade co-ed to enter Concordia’s portals last fall. She is an ambitious girl with a friendly disposition. Among her likes are skating, playing the piano and walk¬ ing. She has been kept busy “looking- after” her younger sister. Leona’s future ambition is to become a nurse. 8 GRADUATES MAUREEN MAXWELL Edmonton, Alberta The only co-ed spending her fourth year at college is fun-loving “Mac”. After completing her high school, Maureen plans to become a parochial school teacher. An enthusiastic member of Choristers, “Mac” this year received the title role of “Sylvia” in the oper¬ etta. Her vivacity and wit have caused everyone to agree, “When ‘Mac’ starts joking, be prepared for a hearty laugh.” LINDA H1PPE, Neudorf, Saskatchewan One of the staunchest supporters of Saskatchewan ever, “Lin” admits she used to be homesick. But not any more —she gets enough to eat now. Lin is a member of the Aurora staff. She enjoys skating and volleyball, and also plays the piano. Because of her cheerfulness, friendliness and loyalty, Linda will be greatly missed next year. ALMA KUHN, Inglis, Manitoba One of our most industrious students is Alma Kuhn, who is spending her second year at college. Although she is not on any committee, Alma is not lacking in college spirit. Among her favorite pastimes are skating and curling. After completing her training and receiving her R.N., Alma plans to become an air stewardess. WILFRED F1NGAS, Inglis, Manitoba Three years ago “Wilf” came to us from Inglis, Mani¬ toba. During his stay here, “Wilf” has made numerous friends. Although he does not take part in hockey he is a whiz at curling and volleyball. He has not yet definitely chosen his future occupation. HALFDAN FRANK, Edmonton, Alberta At Concordia “Halfdan’s” name is synonymous with genius. Frank, as he is generally known, came to Concordia at Xmas last year, almost directly from Germany. Since then he has proceeded to the head of the class in all subjects. Besides studying, Frank plays the accordion and piano (Beethoven, of course!), very well, is typist for the Aurora, a member of the yearbook staff, and sings the part of De Lacy in the operetta “Sylvia.” Last spring Frank won most track-field events which shows his proficiency in athletics. In view of all this we predict that he will be a famous chemical engineer. WALTER KUNKEL (Knuckle), Stony Plain, Alberta Walter is a man of many words which he quite often uses to good ad¬ vantage. We have to recognize his wide interest in sports, although he is taking a very heavy course. Another of his oc¬ cupations is to hold the position of a “Scapegoat” in 203. Anyway he is a good guy, full of humor and original ideas, and we are sure that he will meet with success in his future work whatever it may be. GRADUATES ELMER MITTELSTAEDT, Bruderheim, Alberta This is Elmer’s first and last year here at Concordia. His activities here at College are, hockey, swimming, softball, and rugby. Next year Elmer intends to enroll at the University of Alberta, where he plans to take an engineering course. MILO HEUER, Dixonville, Alberta Milo is another one of our students who comes from northern Alberta. He takes a willing part in many sports ac¬ tivities. He plays hockey on the “B” team and is also a big baseball enthusiast. Ping-pong is another favorite of his and we also can find him in the boys’ commons taking part in a game of p ' nochle or bridge. Lately he has been devoting some time to handball, crokinole and basketball. Besides this he also enjoys a good bull-session and even making model airplanes. He has not yet decided upon his future occupation. ELVA LONG, Ponoka, Alberta Elva proves by the high marks she makes that she takes her schoolwork seriously. She’s an active member of the Literary Committee and sings soprano in the Choristers. Her favorite pastimes are chatting with the girls and skating. Elva’s ambition is to be a teacher and we’re confident she’ll meet with success in her chosen calling. DONNA RATKE, South Edmonton, Alberta Hale and hearty Donna Ratke from the “South” is completing her high school at Concordia despite the “cold northern climate”. Donna is always faithful in her schoolwork but takes time off for amusements, too. She likes music and plays the piano very well. Next year Donna intends to take a teacher training course at Seward, Nebraska. ELMA RAUHALA, Ponoka, Alberta Cheerful and friendly Elma is a studious co-ed who likes writing poetry. She is a soprano member of the Choristers and holds her own when it comes to defending Ponoka. She is not yet sure what work she will take up after graduation. EDWARD SEREDIAK, Andrew, Alberta This is Ed’s first and final year here at Concordia. Ed’s main activities are tumbling and photography. He is the leader of the famous “tumbing four”. Next year Ed plans to enroll at the University of Alberta, where he will study for surgery. “Don’t do too much ‘cutting up’, Ed.” EDEL YAUCK, Govan, Sask. Three years ago Edel came to Con¬ cordia from Saskatchewan to study for the ministry. Since then he has con¬ sidered the matter, and right now is not too sure of his future profession. Edel is that strong, silent type, and is very conscientious about his school work. Although he is not too athletically inclined, he seldom misses any of Con¬ cordia’s games. We wish Edel the best of luck in the future. 10 STUDENTS DONALD UNTERSCHULTZ (“Schultz) Calgary, Alberta Aim: Ministry.

CATALOG 1953 - 1954 Purpose and Aims PURPOSE The chief purpose of Concordia College is to train young men for the ministry in the Lutheran Church. The ministerial student is required to secure the credits necessary for a high school diploma and in addition to complete two years of work in the junior college department. After his studies at Edmonton, the ministerial student proceeds to Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, for four years of specialized theological work. A secondary purpose of the college is to prepare boys and girls for entrance into the synodical normal schools at River Forest and Seward, and for deaconess work in Lutheran congregations. In addition, Concordia welcomes also a limited number of Lutheran students who intend to prepare for other professions or who wish to obtain a high school educa¬ tion under Christian teachers in a Christian atmosphere. Specific, pre-professional curricula are offered which prepare for university matriculation, normal training, or nurses’ training. AIMS The school seeks at all times to give a thorough and up-to-date training in the subjects listed in its course of studies and, therefore, requires competence of its teachers and efficient work of its students. In addition, however, to developing a desire for knowledge, methods of logical thinking and sound judgment, Concordia strives to provide the student with a Scriptural basis for evaluation and criticism, and to inculcate the Christian view of life. At the same time, the teachers at Concordia are aware of the fact that educa¬ tion does not take place only in the classroom. It is more than lessons learned and credits received. A serious effort is made, therefore, to utilize all educational forces at the school’s disposal to develop a well-rounded Christian personality. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION Applicants must have a Grade IX Diploma or its equivalent before they are permitted to enroll. Upon request, the college will mail out forms, one an official application blank to be filled out by the applicant and the other a medical examination blank to be filled out by a licensed physician. These forms should be filled in com¬ pletely and returned promptly. Every student is required to be present for the opening service at the beginning of the term. Before a prospective student can find out what courses he will be permitted to take at Concordia, he must send in a complete and official statement of standing of work done in the previous grade. This applies not only to students from Alberta, but also those from other provinces. The work done in other provinces is evaluated by the Department of Education of Alberta, and credit is given accordingly. Since this evaluation requires time, these statements should be sent in as soon as possible. Address all correspondence to: Rev. A. H. Schwermann, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. Our Motto: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” 18 CURRICULA Concordia offers courses on the junior college and the high school level.

Music 10: The course is that prescribed by the Department of Education for Music 10. Its requirements are chorus singing, with ear-training and sight-reading; elementary theory; and music appreciation.—Four credits. (Schwermann.) DISCIPLINE— All students are required to live a Christian life and to conform to the rules and regulations of the college. For that reason admission is granted to such boys and girls only who can furnish written testimonials of their Christian character, and only such will be retained on the school’s roster who submit to Christian discipline and conduct themselves as Christian people. If in the opinion of the faculty a student’s attitude and behavior is such as to make his presence at the institution undesirable (profanity, theft or offences against morality), or if his class standing is unsatis¬ factory, he may, for the obvious good of the school, be dismissed even though no specific offence meriting suspension or expulsion be charged against him. Students leaving for vacations are required to attend all classes until the official close and must return in time for the official opening of the school. Only under extraordinary circumstances will exceptions be made to this rule. The opening and closing dates are always published in the catalog. Extra-Curricular Activities AN ACTIVE LITERARY COMMITTEE— An active Literary Committee plans programs, lectures, movies, and social activities for Friday evenings throughout the school year. Besides, all students have the privilege to join one of our local Walther Leagues where they may take part in young people’s work. MUSIC— Besides the Music 10 course there are various extra-curricular activities in which students may take part. The major musical group is the “Concordia Choristers.” Students who wish to take lessons on the piano or some other instrument, parti¬ cularly those who seek to obtain the A.T.C.M. of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, are assisted in finding qualified and competent teachers in the city. Several pianos are available for practice at the college. DRAMATICS— Since dramatics develops the ability to appear before an audience and gives training in public speaking, it receives due attention at Concordia. Shorter plays are given at regular intervals. The major effort is usually an operetta or a longer play, which is given not only in Edmonton but also at outlying points. ATHLETIC ACTIVITIES— Every student is encouraged to take part in some sport or exercise. The large campus offers ample recreational opportunities. Among these hockey, baseball, soft- ball, volleyball, and skating are the most popular. The new gymnasium provides excellent facilities for athletics and gymnastics. “Adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.” Titus 2, 10. 24 PAYMENTS General Fees (athletics, laboratory, library, medical, school paper, yearbook) $ 22.00 Administration Fees (instructional aids, office supplies and expense, operation and maintenance) .......... 60.00 Board Fee (for those students taking all their meals at the College) .. 180.00 Note: Charges for board are subject to change as the economic situation may demand. Dormitory Fee (for those boys who live in the boys’ dormitory) .. 30.00 Tuition: $2.00 per credit carried, including Religion, approximately ... 75.00 $3.00 per credit in commercial subjects. Note: No tuition is required of students preparing for the ministry or teaching profession in the Missouri Synod. Typewriter Rent: Typewriting 1A .......... 5.00 Typewriting 10 or 20 (Commercial Subjects) . 10.00 Books and Stationery, approximately ..... 40.00 All cheques and money orders covering student fees should be made payable to CONCORDIA COLLEGE and addressed to The Treasurer, Concordia College, Edmonton, Alberta. With regard to a student’s allowance for spending and personal needs, parents ought to keep in mind that too much spending money may be harmful. On the other hand, it discourages a student if his parents do not g ive him enough for such things as he needs and are reasonable. Personal funds may be deposited in the secretary’s office for safe-keeping. PAYMENTS— General fees and typewriter rent are payable at the time of registration. All administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees are payable quarterly, in advance. Hence, payments for these latter items fall due on: (1) the opening day of the school year; (2) November 15th; (3) February 1st; (4) April 15th. If students are unable to make their quarterly payments on time, the following periods of grace will be given: For the 1st Quarter: four weeks after the opening day. For the 2nd Quarter: two weeks after the beginning of the quarter, or up to December 1st. For the 3rd Quarter: two weeks or up to February 15th. For the 4th Quarter: two weeks, or up to May 1st. If payment has not been made when the period of grace comes to an end, the student will not be permitted to attend classes until such payment is made. We kindly ask for the cooperation of parents in paying bills promptly, so that the student will not be compelled to miss any classroom periods. Some parents prefer to pay the entire costs at the beginning of the school term. When this is done, a proportionate refund is made for administration, board, dormitory, and tuition fees in the event a student finds it necessary to discontinue his studies during the course of the school term. General fees are not refundable after- four weeks, and typewriter rent not after eight weeks. Anyone arriving late in fall receives no rebate and must pay all fees in full. “Fear the Lord and serve Him in sincerity and in truth.’’—Josh. 24, 14. ACCOMMODATION FOR GIRLS— The college has no dormitory facilities for girls and can therefore assume no responsibility for their lodging. However, attempts will be made to And good Christian homes for such girls as wish to enroll. In recent years girls have paid a minimum of $75 a year each for rooming accommodation where two girls occupied the same room and a minimum of $100 a year where a room was occupied by only one girl. Under these conditions girls had to supply their own bed linens, towels, and soap. Correspondence is invited from those who are interested. Girls who receive their meals in the college dining room are required to pay $180.00 a year for board. WHAT THE STUDENT SHOULD BRING ALONG— Students should bring their Bible, catechism, and hymnbook. Every student living in the dormitory must be provided with the necessary clothing and bedding: pillow, three pillow-cases, two b edspreads for a single bed, three bedsheets, at least three woolen blankets, six Turkish towels, dress shirts, and an ample supply of white handkerchiefs. Boys must wear dress shirts, ties, and suit- coats in the classrooms, dining hall, and chapel. LAUNDRY: Every student is responsible for his own laundry. He may send his clothes home or to a commercial laundry in Edmonton or elsewhere. CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY: The college suspends all activities during Christmas vacation, and under ordinary circumstances we assume that a student will spend his holidays elewhere. In excep¬ tional cases he will be permitted to remain in the dormitory, provided that this is requested by the parents. AWARDS: Friends of the school have again offered some awards to students who achieve the highest standing in general proficiency in their classes. A first prize of $25 was gives by the A.A.L. Branch of Edmonton for the highest standing in the college divis ion, and another award of $10 from the Edmonton Alumni Association goes to the student who stands second highest in this same division. The Principal’s award of $20 will be given to the occupants of the best kept room in the dormitory. These prizes will be presented at the graduation exercises in June, 1953. The purpose of these awards is to stimulate a greater interest in the study program of the college. We take this opportunity to thank the kind donors and to assure them that these gifts are highly appreciated.

Thermostatically controlled fans, motors, and steam units, in the penthouse on the roof supply proper ventilation through diffusers installed in the ceiling of the auditorium. The heating system, connected with the main heating plant of the school, is composed of wall cabinet convector radiators. All doors are wire glazed kalamein, conforming to the city fire regulations. 38 vlASIUM AUDITORIUM Special attention was given to the acoustics of the building, and the result has been excellent. This was achieved by a careful proportion and spacing of acoustic tile, ten test, and fir-ply. Flush mounted, built-in ceiling lights provide illumination. Adjoining the auditorium floor on the south side, shower and dressing rooms supply accommodation for the girls. In addition there is space for the office of the director of physical education and for an athletic equipment room. The north side of the playing floor includes a service kitchen with a pass-through window and dressing room for the boys. Steam from the shower rooms is carried out by means of motor driven exhaust fans. These rooms are furnished with ceramic tile floors, ceramic tile walls on the dado, and Keene’s cement on the upper wall and ceiling. Marboleum covers the floor of the balcony, where about 300 seats can be provided. The west end of the balcony has space for a twenty-rank pipe organ, including a set of Schulmerich electronic chimes, installed by Pepin and Sons and established by the Herman A. Schole family as a memorial to their father. The console of the electro-pneumatic organ is placed on the balcony near the stage. Three rooms give piano pupils opportunity for practice. Between these and the organ there is space for projection and sound purposes. Here is located a desk type dimmer cabinet from which all 39 light circuits in the auditorium and on the stage are controlled. A remote control portable Barvic record playing unit, mounted in a hardwood cabinet on a polished chrome tubular steel dolly is capable of handling records up to twelve inches at speeds of 78, 45, and 33 % r.p.m. An armor plate glass window may be opened whenever the room is used for projection and audio¬ visual purposes. Two loudspeakers over the proscenium and microphone on the stage complete the sound system. Flexibility was kept in mind in planning the stage. The dimensions of the proscenium are 46 x 18, while the rear of the stage is 64 feet in width and its depth is 24 feet. Dressing and storage rooms on the sides have been avoided in order to accommodate large choral and pageant groups. The soft wood floor is four feet above the level of the gymnasium floor and placed on laminated two-by-fours. A trap door at the rear of the stage gives access to the basement from where properties may be moved on to the stage. Six lekolites, eight fresnelites, and three strip lights provide excellent illumination for the stage, the back wall of which has been constructed for cycloramic effects. All circuits are controlled from the panel room at the opposite end of the building. By means of intercommunication phones the stage director may stay in constant touch with the operator of the light and sound system in the control room and also with the ushers in the lobby. 40 A VIEW looking away from the stage. Above to the left is the organ. A huge screen now closes off this aperture. To the right of it is the control room, containing the switchboard for the lighting effects, and the projectors. The three doors to the right of the control room lead into the piano rooms. To the right below is the opening to the kitchen. The stage equipment includes a blue velour curtain, dark gray drop curtains from the open ceiling, with neutral gray backdrops. Chairs and mats and tables will be stored on dollies in compartments immediately underneath the stage. Large doors suspended on ballbearing rollers separate the stage from the gymnasium floor and give an opportunity to have activities on the stage simultaneously with activities on the gym floor. Valuable assistance in stage planning was given by Prof. Robert II. G. Orchard and Mr. A. H. Pullinger of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Alberta. The basement underneath the stage offers storage facilities for sheet music and musical instruments, for costumes and general stage equipment. A tunnel connects this unit with the administration building, so that classes may be readily moved from one section to another. This well constructed modern building is a highly serviceable addition to the educational facilities of Concordia College. It is to serve a fivefold purpose: Physical education and gymnastics, musical activities, audio-visual instruction, speech and dramatics, and social activities. Designed by G. H. McDonald, architect, and erected by the Poole Construction Co., Ltd., this new gymnasium-auditorium represents a value of $175,000. —A.H.S. 41 An inside view of the gym in the making, taken some time in No¬ vember, 1952.

Those are wise words. If we remember that nothing in life that is truly worthwhile comes to any of us without great effort, we shall always shy away from the easy path to success. True gain in knowledge, information, understanding comes through patient, sustained labor. If we want the gold out of life, we must dig deep for it, for example in good books. These are your working tools as students. These tools, will become more precious to you the more deeply and carefully you search for the hidden ore of golden thoughts in them. CONCORDIA—your official publishing house—stocks thous¬ ands of good books—its own as well as the best books from the nation ' s religious presses. Why not state your reading interests on a postcard or in a letter and mail it to CONCORDIA within the near future? We ll be glad to suggest a number of fine titles for your personal library. CONCORDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE ST. LOUIS 18, MISSOURI 3 inancia is ,: ucceSS (dolle e dstudent’i Cjoai A college student ' s goal after graduation is to achieve a reasonable measure of financial success. He knows that many good things in life do not necessarily bear the dollar sign. Nevertheless, he desires to have the financial success that spells the comforts of life. The most powerful lever in gaining financial success is the ownership of capital. The difference between financial dependency and financial success is largely the difference in a person ' s ability to accumulate capital from the very beginning of his career. You can own capital—and be financially successful—if you have a plan, if you work the plan, and if the plan is in itself failure proof. Life insurance with the Aid Association for Lutherans can be your first step toward financial success. It provides an immediate capital estate. It is a definite plan of accumulating capital. It is in itself failure proof. Consult an A.A.L. field representative or write to the Home Office for further information.
